Taekwondo Droitwich
Droitwich Taekwondo (WR9): Introduced during the nineteen forties in Korea, South-East Asia, Taekwondo is a martial art which has grown in popularity in recent years. Renowned as a means by which to strengthen your mind and body, build your confidence, bolster your self-esteem and learn to defend yourself better, it's been taken up by large numbers of fitness enthusiasts throughout the world.

It's got to be said that Taekwondo can be quite physically demanding, which may put off the less agile and more elderly folks in Droitwich from becoming involved. To be honest, the most common participants of Taekwondo classes are children and younger people, but obviously older people who are in excellent physical condition can easily be involved and benefit from this sport.
Taekwondo is a martial art that mainly involves high-kicking manoeuvres and moves, most notably head kicks, jumping/turning kicks and rapid kicking styles. It started in Seoul, in southern Korea during the 1940's, when a group of martial arts specialists established schools called "kwans", which blended a variety of martial arts techniques.

Taekwondo has become very popular in Droitwich and all around the world, with more than sixty million participants worldwide. Signing up for a local Droitwich Taekwondo club or class is a good way to get involved in this sport which has even been included in the Olympic Games since the Sydney Games in 2000. Though you might not aspire to Olympic competition, there's no reason why you cannot become an expert at this challenging martial art and have some fun in the process.
In these times of escalating violence, it's hardly surprising that folks in areas like Droitwich are signing up for self-defence classes like Taekwondo to help them feel safer in their local environment. The self-defence element is one of the primary benefits of Taekwondo but at the same time it also encourages self-restraint and a deep respect for others around us, which are characteristics that are largely lacking in modern day life.
Whilst it will instill you with self-confidence being aware that you have such self-defence skills in your locker, the chances are that you will never be required to use them outside of a dedicated Taekwondo class.
